Auchentoshan 13 Year Old 1995 Old Malt Cask Douglas Laing

Auchentoshan Three Wood

Color: a rosy copper. Nose: mmm. Thick and luxuriant. Cinnamon cooked apples. Butterscotch and caramel poured over vanilla ice cream. Old books!

This Auchentoshan by contrast has been open since March and is still 3/4 full which speaks volumes! Anyway...
